Good afternoon,
For patients who are unable to verbally communicate pain, do you have separate prn pain medication orders that include the non-verbal pain assessment tool used? Or do you include both verbal and non-verbal pain scales in your prn pain medication orders? Would greatly appreciate it if you could share examples of your orders.
Thank you in advance for any advice or insight you can share!
